EASTVALE SAN ANTONIO MEDICAL PLAZA

Eastvale – San Antonio Community Hospital’s medical plaza project in Eastvale has been progressing nicely. Several construction milestones have been reached, including the tilt-up of the walls that took place on February 5. With this type of construction, the walls are formed adjacent to the foundation and a large crane lifts them into place one at a time. Precision is required to ensure that the walls are erected in just the right order, much like a puzzle. Intensive planning was required before the first wall was lifted into place and secured.

Eastvale Mayor Ike Bootsman was on hand to witness this major milestone, as was Harris Koenig, President and Chief Executive Officer of SACH, and Mark Bertone, Chairman of the hospital’s Board of Trustees.

Eastvale San Antonio Medical Plaza will be located in Lewis Retail Center’s Eastvale Gateway South Shopping Center, on Limonite Avenue, just west of Interstate 15. The location allows the hospital to expand its healthcare services to meet the needs of residents in Eastvale, south Ontario, Norco, and surrounding communities. Eastvale San Antonio Medical Plaza is anticipated to open in late 2014.

Eastvale: Here We Grow Again – January 2014

By K.P. Sander

Eastvale – Like the beautiful bow on a Christmas package, all of the ongoing construction projects are getting their finishing touches to help make 2014 in Eastvale merry and bright. There are also a lot of new gifts in development to make the future dazzling as well.

From the proposed Arco Gas Station and retail development in the northeast corner of the city at Riverside Drive and Hamner Avenue to the nearly completed Homecoming at the Preserve at the southwest corner on the Chino border, Eastvale continues to thrive.

Traffic delays are still a reality as construction of the 224 “Copper Sky” condominium units continues near the schools at Schleisman Road and Scholar Way. Roadway improvements around the project will ultimately provide improved traffic flow throughout the schools and into the new housing, as well as enhanced pedestrian safety, all said and done.

The development of more housing is also underway on Citrus Avenue, just south of the High School at Scholar Way, where the Granja Vista Del Rio ranch used to be. Still central in this development is the historic Desi Arnaz house, which will be preserved by Jurupa Community Services District. The beautiful architecture of Arnaz’ Spanish ranch-style home provides inspiration for the development. “The Palms” will consist of 197 detached single family homes, as well as an additional 39 acres of open space south of the project that will include trails (part of the current east to west system) and a pond.

The forthcoming “Trails at Eastvale” housing project is in the plan check phase for construction at the corner of Archibald Avenue and 65th Street. Recently the home for some of Eastvale’s last bovine residents, the project will include 224 single family homes with eight floor plans (on the smaller ALUC-zone lots) and will surround a new neighborhood park and adjoining trail system with exercise stations.

Yet another housing project that has broken ground is “Cleveland Square” on the north side of Limonite Avenue at Scholar Way. 350 two-story condominium units with active-park, pool and outdoor spaces will urbanize the vacant fields as development starts moving toward the Gateway shopping center. It certainly sounds like a population boom is on the horizon.

With more people comes the need for more parks, and Phase I of the new Eastvale Community Park located at the southeast corner of Citrus and Hamner avenues is ready to open, hopefully this month. The initial 45 acres includes Lighted Sports Fields, Picnic Areas, Concession Stands, Restroom Facilities and Parking. The park will also extend the Eastvale Trail, which will connect from the park to the Santa Ana River Trail (which all told, will be over 110 miles from the San Bernardino Mountains to the Pacific Ocean upon completion).

Live Eastvale, Shop Eastvale! As we continue to flourish the opportunities to shop and dine increase and encourage us to keep our dollars in the city we call home. Starting in the Cloverdale Marketplace, located at the southwest corner of Limonite and Hamner and anchored by Ralph’s grocery store, several new businesses come to life. New dining options include the delicious Waba Grill and soon to open Ponino’s Pizzarena. The Learning Experience (Academy of Early Education) opened in the fall of 2013, and the Soccer Wearhouse is putting the finishing touches on with a grand opening scheduled for January 11, 2014. With all the new sports fields imminent, this should be a popular store.

One of the largest shopping centers, Eastvale Gateway, located at the northeast corner at Hamner and Limonite, has a wide variety of options to encourage residents to stay local. With multiple anchors, such as Home Depot, Target, Von’s and the Regal Cinemas, Gateway truly has something for everyone. The popular Ulta Beauty and Massage Envy businesses opened a few months ago along with a plethora of dining options make variety the spice of Eastvale. From On the Border to Buffalo Wild Wings; and from your old favorites, Farmer Boys and Pick Up Stix (and new favorite, Jersey Mikes), to the recently opened Habit Burger Grill and Dickie’s BBQ Pit, the only difficulty is narrowing your choices down to just one. The center has the perfect Date Night options close to home.

In Eastvale Gateway South, located at the southeast corner of Hamner and Limonite, alongside the 24-Hour Fitness mega-gym that opened earlier in 2013, the much anticipated San Antonio Medical Plaza will bring medical services directly to Eastvale in the fall of 2014. The center also includes Corky’s Kitchen, Wing Stop, Walgreens, Chevron and other quick-service options.

With Jack in the Box finally joining the lonely CVS several months ago, the lot on the southwest corner of Archibald and Schleisman is finally coming to life. With the framework bones of Auto Zone and its companions, Mes Amies Hair and Nails, and dentistry with Nihar Tanna, DDS, now quite obvious, Starbucks is also visible with Fantastic Sam’s and other tenants in the works. The early 2014 completion of that corner of Eastvale will be a welcome neighbor to all the housing completed earlier in 2013.

A major construction project in the area is the Homecoming at the Preserve, in Chino, and our neighbor at the border of Eastvale on Schleisman-Pine. Now open for leasing, the apartment homes, built by award-winning Lewis Apartment Communities, have provided resort-style amenities to bring you the very best in contemporary living – a good thing for those seeking apartment living near Eastvale, as there are no options currently within the city limits. With a 16,000 square foot clubhouse at its core, the offerings include a fitness center, theater, gaming rooms, nail salon, coffee bar, massage center, valet dry cleaning, and business center. The luxury continues with a rooftop lounge overlooking the terrace with two pools and spas, outdoor lounges with a fireplace, and beautiful gardens and greenbelts. The apartments themselves offer innovative floor plans from one to four bedrooms, most with attached garages. For more information on this Master Planned Community, call (866) 407-2448.
